While details of the practice vary by sect, Muslims are required to wash their faces, hands and feet before praying as an act of ablution, or ritual purification. Forms of ablution are practiced in almost all major faiths.

The ritual washing of others' feet is practiced by some Christians as a sign of humility and emulating Jesus Christ, who was said to have washed the feet of his disciples before the Last Supper.

iron_city_ap:I like the part about muslims being worried about a bill that makes it illegal for them to obstain (sp) from drinking alchohol.

My guess is that Muslims had expressed concern about making it a felony to practice Sharia law because it would make them felons for things like having Islamic leaders mediate a divorce, and the journalist just read that they were worried and filled in the details on their own.

They should be very worried about the installation of this sink not because it's a secret Muslim prayer sink used to force Sharia Law on good Christian white people but because it's been installed two farking feet from an electrical panel.

While most states exempt state owned buildings from local building codes and inspections, I find it hard to believe a licensed plumber would actually install a mop sink that close to an electrical panel. It must have been installed by Joe The Plumber: Overtaxed American Patriot.

THIS. Who in the hell thought this was a good idea, especially with a flexible hose on the end of it that could spray just about any direction it wanted if the water is turned on high enough.

It's in Tennesee. As in the Tennessee Valley Authority, aka cheap electricity by way of massive federal spending. What are the odds they haven't already cut power to the building in protest?
